- Title: Leverage: Redemption – The Work Study Job
- IMDb: link
Breanna (Aleyse Shannon) brings a case to the team involving a college professor (Rob Benedict) stealing the work of a promising graduate student (Erin Ruth Walker). They start with setting up con in an attempt to extricate the professor from the university and dean (Walter Coppage) who is protecting him, but when that fails the team falls back on their confrontation-adverse client needing to prove her work at just the right moment and to just the right audience in the form of one of the university’s biggest donors.
“The Work Study Job” is a fair episode that lacks any standout moments of either the con, the twist, or specific memorable moments for any of the character aside from the friendship Eliot (Christian Kane) starts up with an elderly security guard. The episode does offer a small cameo of Hardison (Aldis Hodge) helping with the con from space which is really the only elaborate part of any of the constantly evolving plans.
